Water Line Routing TPE

[paczowski123]

This year I will be going up to a TPE964 and 148mm pump, B-pipe etc. but I am a little undecided for my water lines. I have twin 1/2" lines coming in through my hull, but am not sure whether I want to run BOTH to the mani or one to the mani with a Y connector to each manifold fitting and one to the pipe (this is how i had my 735).

To me it seems both lines to the mani would get the most amount of cool water into the engine the quickest, but it leaves me questioning how to get the water out. I would love to have 1 exit per cylinder to get the warm water out, but it leaves me wondering how I could get water to the pipe? I was considering T-ing off one of the lines from the head to the pipe, but then i wonder if I would have enough water flowing to the pipe and enough pressure to work with the FCV. Also considered running it the standard way B-pipe suggests with one out of the head and 1 from the pipe with 2 pissers.


I know this always seems to be open for debate and argument, so I am not asking whats "better" just HOW y'all have your BB's set up?

Thanks!

Do it the way your builder suggest. Not the way someone who does not know your build suggests.

Get a manifold from McMaster carr an run 2 1/2 into the manifold and 3 3/8s out. One to each parts of the manifold, one to the pipe, then three pissers overboard.

I believe the head will only have 2 outlets on it.

Never had any issues running this setup on my motors when I had a b-pipe...

• 2 into the manifold
• Front Cylinder to Top of Headpipe
• Bottom of B-pipe overboard
  
• Rear Cylinder to a t-fitting then overboard
• T fitting to stinger end of b-pipe chamber

Thanks, but don't you generally want to feed the pipe from the bottom? That way the pipe fills and removes any air?

I used to run all my b-pipes like you described....when I switched over to an Xscream SS900...they sent me the diagram I attached

i guess you could easily split off from the rear....and have the top of the b-pipe then feed the stinger

Interesting, thanks!
